Hey Bill,
I fixed Connies year issue and announced the winners for the Snap on tools.
I was getting pretty tired last night and just figured I would fix my errors today.
Thanks for the help and for being a BIG part of the meet....
From Pintony

You are quite welcome Tony. You did a bunch more than we did and thank you too.

When we found out that we won, the first question I asked is "What 2 did we get right?" That was a tough quiz, and most of our answers were pure guesses. I will study more for next time.

Bill

Found this on the web today. Yes, it is Connie's. Wish it was a little better, but....

Pintony,
that was not cheating that was dominating :fastcar:
also we are from PA ( very close to N.Y.) Phil and Family.... White "WOODY" Bobcat. From New York,These Boys really know how to CHEAT at the hotwheel races...

r4pinto · « **Reply #126 on:** June 06, 2006, 05:37:09 PM »

I hear ya Phil. The hot wheels races were fun though. With that & all the other things it was a great time. It's a shame we can't do that more than once a year.

pintoman · « **Reply #127 on:** June 06, 2006, 06:42:41 PM »

I am glad that everyone had a good time.I would like to thank the UNITED FORD OWNERS car club for donating the plaques that we gave away.We also still have plenty of the event T-SHIRTS if anyone wants one.They are 12$ each,just let me know or 68cyclone and we will get them to you.I have allready started my Carlisle fund for next year.Again thanks to everyone,and i have made many new friends and can't wait until next year.

pintoman · « **Reply #128 on:** June 06, 2006, 06:45:57 PM »

One more thing ,i want to thank everone who helped out with the tent rental donations.It was most appreciated.Th ats a double for you Dave.

They had a Starsky and Hutch class; I will give a dollar to someone that paints a pinto the same way, and enters the car in that class at Carlisle next year.

Bill

r4pinto · « **Reply #130 on:** June 07, 2006, 12:35:32 PM »

wally world spray paint here I come!! just kidding, although it would be cool to see a starsky & hutch pinto scheme there.

pintoman · « **Reply #131 on:** June 07, 2006, 06:21:10 PM »

Here are the results of the voting of the classes that we had. Best Engine- PINTONY Best Interior- DAVE HERBECT Best Paint-CONNIE RAINEY Most Potential-MATT MENTOR Best of Show-PAUL ALBERTS And finally Old Farts Pick went to CONNIE RAINEY.Give every one a big hand they deserved the awards.

turbopinto72 · « **Reply #132 on:** June 07, 2006, 10:34:20 PM »

So, was there about 16 pintos? Hmm just about as many as the West Coast show.......

r4pinto · « **Reply #133 on:** June 07, 2006, 11:01:54 PM »

Umm Harley, just one correction.. it's Matt Manter, instead of Mentor. I tell ya over the hears there have been some wierd spellings of my last name, & that's a new one for the books..lol

r4pinto · « **Reply #134 on:** June 07, 2006, 11:05:32 PM »

Kinda sad ain't it? Mine won Most potention & it's the one that's sitting in the driveway dead.

I think Pa hates me. So far I'm 4 for 4 cars having problems after I drove them to Pa. Toyota almost lost a wheel & blew a motor, Celebrity lost a fuel pump & later motor, Kia lost a tranny twice after the trip- no problems before & finally the Pinto. It died with 130 miles to go & I've yet to get it going again, although I am coming close.

here is one that is close he tried to make it this year but could not find a room, it would have been nice to have a travel partner
Hay Matt PA dont hate you just dont want you to leave :stop:

Hey Gang:

Carlisle was a blast; Great to meet fellow Pinto Nuts.

I still have 2nd Annual T-shirts left (XL and XXL) @ 12.00 each including shipping. Let me or Harley know if you want one.

Idea= How about 3 pinto meets each year? One on the west coast, around April, (Knotts Beery), one East, June (Carlisle), and one in the Midwest around Sept. (TBD).

What do you THink?

Remember Race Car spelled backwards is Race Car.

Creamsicle · « **Reply #137 on:** June 08, 2006, 08:15:47 AM »

Thanks to all who voted for my car (best paint) and especially to the old farts (geez I hate to use that term). The OFG Choice award meant a lot to me. You guys have been around and I still have a lot of dues to pay before I'm in your league. My 62 year old brother in law with a '46 Ford pick-up street rod is coveting the t-shirt. He'll have to pry it off my cold dead back. I think a West, Cental and East meet is a great idea. Being in CT, I don't know how far west we'd go but we'd certainly offer whatever support, ideas and resources we can.

Tommy & Sherry Burrell, Greer, South Carolina 1980/76 Turbocharged 2300, 5 speed, 3.73 *special Two tone*(LOL) "Long Distance award"(568 miles driven) I don't know where to start to thank all those who put such a great effort into such a great show. Or to thank all those that I got to meet. The Cars and The people are out of this wourld. We had a Blast. Sorry to hear about all those who had troubles and could not make it.We know that you where there in spirit. We left Monday mourning and drove the Shenandoah parkway to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I like to call it the Pinto on the Parkway trip. I have now traveled the parkway(at one time or another) the complete distance. My goal is to do it ALL at one time in the Pinto.

DreamBean · « **Reply #139 on:** June 08, 2006, 11:54:21 AM »

Did some one forget to post a picture of this??

78squirewagon · « **Reply #140 on:** June 08, 2006, 01:44:25 PM »

I am all for a Midwest meet and will even organize the event. I have posted a couple of ideas for the 2008 Pinto Nationals taking place in the Milwaukee area but if you want a Fall show, let's do it. I just wish I could have made it to Carlisle but with a new job, I did not have the vacation time and really dont trust driving my wagon that far.
Just let me know what you think about a show here

dirt track demon · « **Reply #141 on:** June 08, 2006, 08:28:20 PM »

Glad everybody made home. I didn't get to spend as much time getting to meet everyone as I wanted to, I spent friday and saturday burning paychecks, and I was planning on spending sunday hanging out and shootin the breeze, but it didnt happen. What was in the goodie bags anyway?

r4pinto · « **Reply #142 on:** June 08, 2006, 09:48:51 PM »

beer bottle openers, budweiser magnets, fresh cherries pintos, magazines. But no beer to go with the openers.

What's up with that?

phils toys · « **Reply #143 on:** June 09, 2006, 06:35:56 PM »

r4pinto You forgot to mention the coloring books
look in the bric-a-brac section under fun stuff and the Pam and Pete in pinto land was reproduced for the show and the PCCA logo was incorporated into it on a car.

r4pinto · « **Reply #144 on:** June 09, 2006, 07:51:22 PM »

Oh yes. The coloring books. My boss's kid as well as my friends kid both love coloring in the Pintos. I have begun to corrupt the next generation.

HELLO ALL IN PINTO LAND

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE "GATHERING" IN CARLISLE WAS ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE I HAVE HAD SINCE I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE. IT WAS NICE TO BE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME "MENTAL DERANGEMENT" AS FAR AS OUR LOVE OF THESE WONDERS OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

I MADE THE 760 MI. ROUND TRIP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR-BUT I WAS ANOTHER STORY, SEEMS THAT THE SALAD BAR AT RUBY TUESDAYS IN CUMBERLAND,MD. WASN'T ALL THAT SANITARY---BINGO SEVERE FOOD POISINING, IT TOOK ME A WEEK TO RECOVER [BIG OLD SISSY I GUESS],BUT I RECOVERED. JUST FOR INFO WHEN I LEFT WHEELING, WVA & GOT ON RT 70 EAST, THERE WAS ONLY 2 CARS PASSED US IN 100 MILES ONE M-B & 1 LINCOLN, ILL BET THE TRUCKERS WERE TALKING UP A STORM, FROM BEING BLOWN AWAY BY A LOWLY PINTO WITH THE HAMMER DOWN.

TAKE CARE I WILL CHAT WITH YOU LATER

Hey y'all It looks like a great time was had by all. I'm glad this years meet was headed up by more experienced people. I only wish i'd been able to take my 'Lil Horse up there. You know how it goes , it's all a matter of time & money. I had the time & no money LOL. All the cars I've seen look great.

Hey Dreambean, what'd ya pull on the dyno? Inquiring minds ya know.

Are we shooting for the 3rd annual? Maybe @ Carslile again, or maybe a more central usa locale?

pintoman · « **Reply #147 on:** June 16, 2006, 06:25:25 PM »

So, I'm little confused. Are you guys saying you are "going to Carlisle for the show" or are you saying " you are going to Carlisle for a FordPinto.com event"

??

DreamBean · « **Reply #149 on:** June 16, 2006, 08:05:31 PM »

Crazyhorse,
I was disappointed with the numbers. BUT for a Stock ride and what it runs at the track, I am told I should me happy. Now I have a base number to start with before I proceed in a manner which may take me to the nut house, divorce court and the poor house.
I WANT MORE POWER!
